So much to do, so many demands, so many shouting voices. “Pause, Purpose, Possibility” is a chance to step back, take a deep breath, and bring some life-giving attention to what really matters, and intention to who you really are and can become. \n\n\nNew episodes each week alternate between conversations with special guests and shorter pieces from your host Chris Johnson, founder and principal of the Milkweed Group. Each episode will also offer a “Big Question of the Week” and a practice or action-step to take with you. \n\nThe landscapes we’ll explore include:\n\n● Calling and Purpose\n\n● Renewal and Restoration\n\n● Meaningful Work\n\n● Effective and Authentic Leadership\n\n● Connection and Community.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16923584/podcast_art_1600_x_1600_kgtgbb.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/16923584/podcast_art_1600_x_1600_kgtgbb_1200x628.jpg?s=608e5997dc9fe097b5629b1666a4de9b&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://pausepurposepossibility.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/pausepurposepossibility/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-99h9z-1023bc0?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":11,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-06:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-6,"text":"(GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Chicago"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":32,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Chris Johnson & The Milkweed Group, LLC","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-99h9z-1023bc0-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pause-purpose-possibility/id1717344312","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-99h9z-1023bc0?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/4tRVJxnnDO0LyFgzMmgmIh","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f3633288-8590-437f-a434-5dc76492ba6b","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3530051","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/pause-purpose-possibility-5536565","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
